This Boden dress is flying off the shelves
With the joy-bringing sunshine filling recent springtime days, there's been a surge of anticipation for the warmer season ahead. Plans for holidays, bank holiday trips and wedding guest shopping are well underway, so, if you're still looking for the perfect versatile dress for weddings, parties and everything in between, then this top-selling style by Boden could be the answer…£136.00 at boden.com
Shirt dresses are Boden's bread and butter. Every year, the brand creates a design that never fails to hit the sweet spot, in a range of mood-boosting shades and prints. This season, the hero-style Clara cotton shirt dress has been proving a big hit – with 1,551 views and 32 purchased in the last day, according to recent figures.
Its blue paisley print would be perfect for strolling down the cobbled streets in Portugal, straw bag in hand, or you could elevate the style with crisp cream slingbacks and clutch bag for a summer wedding. We all know how unpredictable the weather can be so, to get the most out of this dress, simply add ankle boots and throw a jumper over the top for a seamlessly layered look. And readers, I know you love a mid-length sleeve, breezy cotton and effortless design that flatters everyone. Well, this dress ticks all those boxes – and did I mention that it has pockets, too? The Clara shirt dress is one of those versatile buys that you'll get so much wear out of, year after year.
As of publication, this dress is still available in its full range of sizes 4-22, in petite, regular and long. But our eagle-eyed fashion team believes this won't be the case for long. Given its popularity, the dress will likely sell out very soon, so you'd better be quick!You Might Also Like

The Risky, Reality-Bending Thriller You Need This Summer
THE CATCH, by Yrsa Daley-Ward Here's a dilemma. Despite its mind-bending premise, I don't actually want to talk to you about what happens in 'The Catch,' Yrsa Daley-Ward's first novel after a poetry collection ('Bone') and two nonfiction projects ('The Terrible' and 'The How'). I want to talk about how it happens. 'The Catch' follows semi-estranged twin sisters, Clara and Dempsey. When they were infants, their mother, Serene, vanished, presumed to have drowned in the Thames. As a result, both sisters were adopted, but by different families. Clara was adopted first, by a wealthy family who said that she 'appeared special right from the beginning,' but they left behind Dempsey, who was 'wheezing and small.' Dempsey was adopted a year later by a councilor. Now adults in their 30s, the same age as their mother when she disappeared, the two have a strained relationship. Clara's a spiraling but newly famous author launching a big book; Dempsey does clerical work and data entry. Then Clara glimpses a woman who looks just like Serene. 'She is my mother,' Clara says, believing her to be Serene, come back. 'My very own mother.' Dempsey, however, sees this figure as a con woman out to manipulate her famous but disturbed sister. It gets weirder. This discovered Serene has not aged a day in the years she has been gone. Furthermore, the events that unfold in the sisters' lives after Serene's reappearance are the same events and language found in the writing that Serene left after her death as well as the same language and writing that appears in Clara's blockbuster book, 'Evidence,' large sections of which appear in 'The Catch' itself. That's the what of the novel. The how, though, is where the book reveals itself to be a rich and risky text. Daley-Ward uses a full complement of textures to weave this book. The surreal drips into the moments of assumed sobriety, shifting the world around us as we read. To unfurl the story, she reaches for dark comedy, for drama, for poetry, for the absurd.

Noble Audio Introduces New Multi-Driver Knight IEMs With An Entry-Level Price Tag
Buying a pair of In-Ear Monitors, such as the recently launched Campfire Audio Clara IEMs, will set you back $2,000. They sound great but not everyone is willing to drop that much on a pair of posh earbuds. However, if you want a high-performance pair of multi-driver IEMs but you can't or won't pay a high price tag, then the new Noble Audio Knight IEMs might be just what you've been looking for. For the past decade, Noble Audio has been building a reputation for itself by making some excellent IEMs aimed at discerning audiophiles at the top end of the market. The company has a passion for making hand-crafted IEMs with both universal and custom fits. Custom fit IEMs are molded to suit an individual's ears, while universal IEMs use ear-tips of different sizes to suit all ears. With the launch of the new Knight IEM, Noble Audio is taking aim at the growing market for entry-level market for IEMs. Plenty of people want the subtleties and sophistication of multi-driver IEMs but without the eye-watering price tag. By producing an affordable pair of multi-driver IEMs, without compromising on sound and build quality, Noble Audio hopes to bag a slice of this growing market. Historically, knights in shining armor were members of the nobility and warriors whose job it was to protecting a kingdom and its subjects. Knights were expected to embody honesty and chivalry. It's the honesty that Noble is chasing on with the Knight IEMs thanks to their carefully engineered response at a sensible price. With Noble Audio's rich signature sound , the Knight IEMs offer a premium performance at an accessible price without compromising on sound quality. Encased in an aluminum shell with a striking three-dimensional acrylic faceplate in deep purple and blue, the Knight IEMs strike a bold look. Designed to offer clarity and a rich audio performance, the Knight IEMs are fitted with a dual-magnet, dynamic 10mm driver in each earpiece. This robust driver can elevate the power of the overall audio performance while serving up a deep and controlled bass and sub-bass which creates a more immersive listening experience. Alongside the dynamic drivers, Noble Audio has selected a Sonion balanced armature driver which has exceptional clarity as well as articulate mid-range frequencies. For the treble end of the sound, Noble has opted for a Piezo super tweeter that rounds things off with detailed high frequencies that provide the focus for a stereo soundstage. The Noble Knight IEMs are priced affordably, although the company says it hasn't cut corners on quality. The combination of all three drivers enables the Knight IEMs to adapt to a wide range of musical genres and can provide the kind of audio performance that will satisfy the demands of everyone from enthusiasts, audiophiles or casual listeners looking for an audio upgrade. The Knight IEMs ship with high-quality 8-core OCC cable with OFC silver plating. The cable is coated in a PU skin-friendly material and is detachable, using 0.78-2 pin connectors with L/R markings. The cable is terminated with a balanced 4.4mm Pentaconn jack plug, although the detachable two-pin cable can be easily swapped out or upgraded with different cable and plug. The Noble Audio Knight IEMS are available to buy from and priced at $289 / £269 / €309 which is significantly less than many high-end and multi-driver IEMS.

Boden shoppers 'feel amazing' in 'really flattering' summer dress that's on sale
Boden's 'flattering' summer dress is popular with reviewers (Image: Boden) Boden shoppers can get a 'flattering' £90 dress for £67.50 with a summer discount code. Shoppers can save on the Mila Trim Tiered Jersey Dress with the code 7N7G, offering fans 25% off until midnight on May 26. The popular jersey dress is available in a regular and petite fit. Unfortunately, some sizes are sold out, but there are four colours to choose from, which increases the chances of finding the right size for shoppers browsing the red, black, fuchsia, and green styles. The red dress, for instance, is currently available in sizes 4-22. The black dress and the green dress also have good availability. Boden's product description for the Mila Trim Tiered Jersey Dress says: 'Our sleeveless Mila dress is all about the details (pom-pom trim to be precise). It also has a tiered maxi-length skirt and a waist-defining belt.'

However, it's worth noting that some thought the fabric was too thick for a summer dress, so it might not be the best choice if you're looking for a lightweight dress for hotter days. Shoppers might prefer Next's £42 White Button Down Midi Dress With Linen, which is 'crafted in a lightweight linen blend,' according to the product description. Other stylish summer dresses include New Look's £33.99 Red Drawstring Waist Textured Midi Dress, which a reviewer said is made with 'really lovely material,' and ASOS's £40 Linen maxi sundress with bralet cut out in oat, which could better suit shoppers looking for a full-length dress. The Mila Trim Tiered Jersey Dress has received an average rating of 4.5 out of five on the Boden website, which has collated the reviews for the different coloured dresses. Mila Trim Tiered Jersey Dress from Boden (Image: Boden) One happy shopper said: 'This dress makes me feel amazing and it's a long time since I've felt that. The material is quite heavy but this makes it fall nicely. I'm large busted so would normally only wear a v neck but this is really flattering. I'd love it in navy too-pretty please!' Another pleased buyer wrote: 'I am 5ft 9 and I've bought this dress twice as the first one was so fabulous. I have bought it in the 20R to have a bit more space and not too snug a fit. The length of the regular is really long, perfect for me. What I like is it fits everywhere really well, I'm curvy and everything sits and fits just right on me, I'm really impressed. The fabric is soft and comfy and great for every day. The pockets are a really great size too.' A fan added: 'Petite size 14, very flattering and lovely material. Bought to wear at a wedding but plan to get lots of use out of it. Gorgeous colour and feels classy.' However, a different shopper commented: 'I really wanted to love this dress but the fabric was just too heavy for what is essentially designed as a summer dress. The pockets are fab and the style is lovely though, had it been in something more like a cheesecloth fabric I definitely would have kept it.' White Button Down Midi Dress With Linen from Next (Image: Next) Someone else agreed: 'A great and flattering design The red could have been slightly bolder I loved the cut out subtle and classy BUT the material was as others mentioned far to thick for a summer dress and too casual for an occasion dress It's a good price point if you can make it work – I feel a lighter jersey or double cloth could have worked better.' Another shopper shared: 'The fit of this dress was okay, but the fabric was extremely unflattering. It clings in a weird way so that you could see everything — my belly button, the seams of my t-shirt bra, etc — through it. I don't know why they selected this fabric or who would wear it.' However, a different shopper liked the fabric, despite agreeing it feels heavy. They said: 'I love this dress, it does come up slightly big especially around the chest area which is why I sized down. Agree with other reviews that the material is heavy but it actually makes the dress hang really nice and it is very flattering, I wouldn't say it was very thick but it depends what you are looking for. 'The hole detailing is really nice and the pockets are a bonus. I chose the fuschia and paradise green, but the green wasn't as bright as I wanted so I will send that back, but the fuschia is lovely. Very good price with 25% off. Would recommend.'
